QuoteYes, Bioware are making an RTS. Or more accurately: they've now got an RTS studio under the same label. Generals 2 is powered by the Battlefield 3 engine. It's PC-only. Dr Ray said: ""We're bringing BioWare's vision for emotionally engaging gameplay and great attention to quality to the strategy genre and the Command & Conquer franchise. I am excited to welcome BioWare Victory to our label. They are a great addition and the team is working hard to make sure Generals 2 truly immerses and engages players into this intense, gritty, modern war experience." And Executive producer Jon Van Caneghem said: "With Generals 2, we are bringing the Command & Conquer franchise back to its roots, blending strategic gameplay with fast-paced action — all set in visually stunning theaters of war powered by Frostbite 2." (Thanks, VG247.)
It's dated for 2013. See trailer below.

Electronic Arts: when bad things happen to good developers?
I'd rather have a sequel that that C&C first person shooter. It was fun being a dickhole in that game. :)

I never played that one. What did you do in it?
I thought that C&C shooter turned out to be a flop?
And Generals too...isn't that the weakest C&C?
Never played either of them I must say. Just played RA3 for the first time a few month s ago

Me? Be a total dick. For normal people, attack the other team's base.
I thought no one could develop PC-only games anymore on account of all the piracy. :huh:

Well, Bioware is known for simply not understanding the PC market to the depth and complexity necessary to actually make money selling PC games. It's unfortunate for them, I am sure. Maybe they could hire an expert consultant to advise them on the futility of selling PC games in todays piracy driven market.
I really enjoyed Generals.

If you wanted to continue that debate you could just go back to the old thread.

Filling the buildings full of snipers and rocketmen made the game turn into Grozny. :)
I dislike the cartoony graphics.

that's Red Alert 3...
This one as well. I like military vehicles to look like actual vehicles, not something from Transformers. It's okay Sci-fi games, but less so for this.
I actually really liked Generals. It was the first C&C game I played competitively online and I was pretty damn good at it.

The game is not out until 2013 and all I've seen is a short trailer from a video, not actual gameplay. I don't know how you base your "cartoony" assumptions. The first Generals didn't have "cartoony" units, they looked more like real units, in as much as could be done at the time.

Well, I base it on the trailer. I'm not talking about the units themselves, simply the graphic style. And the first one did have a cartoony style for units. They deliberately designed the units to look unrealistic, because they feared censors in Europe. It didn't work to well, the Germans still made the game really hard to get. And of course several of the units are could be described as cartoony. GLA tanks look kinda like old WWII ones. In particular Italian and British or microwave tanks, or motorcycles with rockets on them, or...
